Writing

It’s Friday!

It’s Friday!  And that means it Accountability post day!  Please try to contain yourselves!

Since I’m in the stages of editing rather than writing new material I debated on how to track my progress.  I decided to take a page out of Holly Black’s book, or blog if you will, and try to show my editing process in a similar fashion.  (For more on how she tracks and shows word counts/edits: http://blackholly.livejournal.com/163548.html  )  Remember: Bold is the final word count of that day.  Italics are the beginning word count for the day.  So, here is the progress:

8/30/2016:

Chapter One – 2174 (1867)

8/31/2016:

Chapter One – 2385 (2174)

Chapter Two – 3130 (2135)

9/1/2016:

Chapter Three – 1418 (2128)

9/2/2016:

Chapter Three – Pt. 1 1751 (1418)

 

And that’s where we are so far today.  Ideally I would like to finish a chapter on the same day I start it but something about chapter one was bugging me so I had to go back the next day and fix it.  As for Chapter three I had a hard time trying to figure out what changes I wanted to make and that was coupled with being sick that day.  Oh well.

Most of the chapters are getting restructured for better pacing.  Chapter 3 is turning out to be a much bigger edit than I had realized and working it out has taken a good chunk of the day today.

I have a lot more work to do tonight and Saturday and Sunday will probably end up being at least partial work days for me.

Enjoy your weekend!
